Behold, my new-to-me 1982 Lotus Legend, an excellent bicycle produced by Lotus Bicycles. Although, at the time, this American company had no connection to Lotus Cars, the drivetrain components were Japanese (Shimano 600 in this case), and this bike is black with gold lettering (a familiar livery color scheme!). Also interesting is the company produced models called Elan, Elite, and Esprit.
According to Wikipedia, at some point after one of the founders dissolved the company, formed International Licensing & Design Corp. (ILD), but retained the Lotus brand, the mark was sold to Group Lotus.
