What colour wires? and where is it?
It's probably for something that your car isn't fitted with.

By the look & age of ECU it’s probably a Mk1 f & I didn’t recognise the connector, unless it’s the angle from which the photograph was taken, it doesn’t fit comfortably into the family of connectors used on the car.
Even early looms came prepared for facilities not seen on all marks, it could be a refugee from an air conditioning system. That would make sense as not all air con units followed MGR connector conventions.
I’d be interested to know, I can see a bit of research poking it’s nose into my pre Christmas dash to get up to date.

If the wires leading to the connector are blue/slate & purple /slate, then they are AC they are for the cooling fan motor.

Its a Mk1 VVC, the plug and cable don't look aftermarket and looks OEM and as aged as all the other wiring, it would be good if someone could check their cars and see if there a similar plug

The only connector that I see fit the shape on your picture is purge control valve on charcoal canister. However wire colours do not match: brown/pink and yellow/orange.
But in this scenario you should be missing connection on purge control valve. Do you miss it?

I have nothing dangling out at that side of the relay frame. There is the connector for the inertia cut out but the wires are brown & the connector is different.
The wires being red & black, the historic positive/negative is also odd on an original fitment auxiliary. I think you have a foreigner.
