==Early career==
Wyllie was born in Perth in the early 1930s. His parents divorced when he was eight, and he spent a brief period in an orphanage while his mother looked for work in the country areas of Western Australia. His mother rented a small house at Scarborough, Western Australia in 1942. At the age of 11, Wyllie successfully applied for a job as a post boy at 15 shillings a week. 〔(News Limited "Tycoon" dies after cancer battle" 13 March 2006 )〕
He left school at the age of 13, and worked in timber mills while studying to be a motor mechanic. After gaining qualifications as a mechanic, he successfully completed correspondence courses in automotive and aeronautical engineering.
In 1952, he joined Wearne Brothers, an Australian automotive and heavy equipment distribution company working from Singapore learning business skills. He was also a successful racing car driver, with a car that he built himself. The ''Singapore Straits Times'' sponsored his entry in the 1958 Macau Grand Prix where he made friends with one of his sponsors Bob Harper, who was an American man, based in Hong Kong.
