Any ideas what this is?
Don't think it's a Lotus as badged up as don't recall them doing a looptail frame.
Do you think it has any value??
Cheers.

Its very mongoose-esq? just the little gusset thing has it been added later? or is it standard do you think?

Not sure, it's a possibility.
I'd go with original if pushed.

I'd say after looking at Terry's Lotus thread that it's not.

Looks like a Mongoose California copy to me but with slight differences.

Surprisingly it looks exactly like the one above... but as said i think it's a Mongoose California copy frameset of sorts. There's a good chance that it is Akisu made too as they made frameset's for many different bike manufacturers bitd.
