Bob, they are different cars. The 1950 car was indeed no 14, and was driven to 4th by Tony Rolt & Duncan Hamilton. The one we are talking about was built in haste just prior to the 1952 event, as their intended entry built as a coupe was written off by Donald Healey in the 1952 Mille Miglia. It carried the no 10 and finished 3rd.
