Wheel size? Their higher end bikes tended to have 700c wheels. They also tended to have "Lotus" cast into the tops of the seat stays, along with chrome stays and cast chrome fork crown.
I would guess yours to be more of a mid grade Lotus. Still a good one for sure.
I have four Lotus bikes myself right now.
