So you can build an exact pin for pin replica of an alloy-body E-type and it

I think that that is no longer the case,,,,
The FIA recently created the Historic Technical Passport (HTP) to complement the Historic Certificate, which is only granted to original cars. This means that, for example, an alloy CSX or KMP car, with true-to-design undercarriage and drivetrain, could obtain an HTP and be eligible for Vintage Races.

The HTP is essentially a sporting document. It is intended to ensure that a car complies with the specification of the car it purports to be. Whether that car is wholly original, partly original, assembled wholly or partly out of period components or a copy or replica built recently does not matter.
