Can anyone tell me about Lotus Bicycles?

My husband has a bicycle that he bought in the mid-1980's. The Lotus logo is literally just that, a Lotus up on the head tub. Does anyone know anything about it?

Can anyone tell me about Lotus Bicycles?
They have been out of business for awhile, but I think Sheldon Brown has some info on them http://sheldonbrown.com
Reply:The Lotus Aerodynamic Super Pro had a small insert in the book called "The Complete Triathlon Distant Training Manual" by Bob Johnson and Bragg Patricia. It was on the inner back cover pages. Small photos about the life around Kailua Kona,Hawaii for the Ironman Tri. They even had a support crew and van sporting the Lotus logo. I guess it was advertisement for their aero bike that came with the top of the line Shimano Aero AX components. The bike frame had some aero attributes to the tubes that was a big thing back in 1981.
