I got started in racing thanks to Doc Wyllie. I am surprised that his name would appear in conjunction with your BT2 Brabham. I know he never raced in FJ but concentrated on under 2 liter sports racing cars such as the Lola Mk1, Elva Mk 7, Lotus 15 and the Bobsy SR3. He would also do LeMans (last year being 1966 in a Ford GT40 with Scuderia Bear) and Sebring either in a Lotus Elite or his own car.
His connection to Brabham was through Gulf Research which he headed back in the late 60's and until June 1970 when he was transferred by Gulf to London. Jack visited Gulf Research many times and was a dinner guest of Doc and his wife Peggy on numerous occasions.
I hope this answers some of your questions and I wish you the best in restoring the BT2.
