I might have my wires crossed as you compare the FIA rules and vintage group goals. The discussions I have had relate to the vintage groups, they realize that many of the original cars are going into museums etc. Once again this is my understanding, they would (years from now) start to allow cars with the correct heritage and replicate the exact build. The reason they can request heritage is so many of the famous cars are being built by the original manufacturers. Ferrari for example has recently added a new building to fix/certify their old models with rumors of some new units for race only. Why would you accept a garage build (allowable under the rules you provided) when you can get a number of cars with heritage. Who knows, it is all a buddy system anyways.
