Hi tradtimbo,
thanks for posting the pics. Your bike is a match for the 1980-82 Lotus Legend.
See the Pics in this thread:

Also more info on Legend here and a Lotus serial number close to yours. They also say that the decals peeled off easily.

That first version of the Legend is very clean looking. I like it.
