I just hope they are doing so in a manner that reflects the cars in period.

Canada has both federal and provincial regulation - and the provincial regulation, inspection and approval regime can vary considerably from province to province. Based upon my experience in Saskatchewan, any replica produced by BRM would need to meet safety standards in effect as of the first date of registration - IOW, a car completed in 2015 would need to meet 2015 vehicle regulations. There is no exemption for small volume vehicle manufacturers that I'm aware of. Other provinces may be less draconian.
