Have talked at length with "doc" Wyllie several years ago about his
racing activities. A real gentleman, but was unable to obtain any
concrete data from him. Any photos would be appreciated of any XI
during that time period. We have several dozen articles written by
Gardner, Frazer, Fankhauser. Copies can be supplied to anyone that
wishes to post to the group.
have a great evening.
Regards
Russ
