Lockhart Sports Cars? Ring any bells?

[Dunc6001]

Lockhart Sports Cars relates to TVR racing in the 1970's - anyone have any info on them?
Were they a dealer who sponsored a few drivers or an actual team?
Google drawing a blank!!
Name has come up via a team entry on a 1970's Race programme.
Thanks, any help appreciated.

Lockhart Sportscars was a TVR dealership in Horsham, West Sussex. It seems to have been run by a chap called Simon Dalgliesh, as far as I know they just supported racing rather than running a team.

Many years ago 1970's Simon Dalgleish operated a Volvo F12 tractor unit & trailer trading as Lockhart Haulage, at the time he was residing in Blacko near Nelson. At the time I worked for Volvo Truck Dealer Tait of Oldham and occasionally I would service his truck at his home, I remember one particular day when he picked me up from home in his AC428. I can tell you that was a drive to remember with doors shaking no seat belts and showing circa 150 mph on the clock as we passed Birch services (not recommended these days but jolly good fun on the day) . He was a very nice generous chap who had a great interest in motoring and motorsport, unfortunately I haven't seen or heard of him for many years but do wish him well.
Regarding TVR's there were several pictures in his house showing competition TVR's of which I am sure he was driving, he also owned Lockhart Sports Cars.
I hope this supports Olivers post.
