I would guess that is because everybody is making replica's, and some people do race the originals. I know with cheetah's, even though the continuation cars are built now, I know they qualify for vintage racing for at least one sanctioning body

the reason being that nobody is racing the originals, and they are popular, draw a crowd, i.e. money for the event. I was told that the superformance GT40's will carry on the serial numbers from the "originals", licensed by the guy who own's the GT40 name, and they will be eligible for vintage racing for at least one sanctioning body, again for the same reason that nobody races the originals.
