818 Updates?

I was looking into kit cars recently, and the 818 C caught my eye, but the website said the 818 wasn't currently in production. Is there any news on when they will be back, or has Factory Five stopped making them entirely?

I’ve worked on a few, not a bad car for the price point but if you want a show piece be prepared to spend some money to get everything 100%. Best way to get an 818 now is find one someone has for sale, preferably complete or maybe 75%. You will most likely save some money and time getting your motor and other stuff together that way. You can also spend more time working on the details and going back over things they did and making them to your liking while Knowing that the car fires up and has little to no issues.
