When the vintage racing grids become smaller because the originals are too valuable to be put in harms way they will allow them, they already do, or face the demise of the particular event.
I have been to Goodwood (Revival) an it is an amazing event and the machinery is breathtaking but all is not what it appears or thought to be, it is thought that one of the races held during the event should be renamed the "Kirkham Cup".

Well if they keep crashing them like they did last weekend, I would expect that you are exactly correct! These are two links of significant crashes from last weekend.

And the 1966 Mustangs and Shelbys are being built new, under license (by Ford and Shelby).

not every reproduction is a continuation car...
continuations should be made by the original manufacturer to original specifications

You mean like Kirkham builds Cobras for Shelby? Now we're just talking about financial arrangements and paperwork. That's just semantics.

They're all "copies" with significant changes since 1965 +/-.
