From the Supermarine Aircraft website:
We have been advised that Jabiru will not be producing any more 8 cylinder motors. This has come as quite a surprise to us. We believe that spare parts will still be available. Please contact Jabiru direct for further information regarding this.
As most who watch this sight will be aware we have been developing a V6 engine package for our Spitfire for a number of years and now have a very comprehensive engine package to offer.
With the increase in popularity of the Experimental Homebuilt aircraft category a demand for light powerful engine packages in the 250-320 HP range has become apparant and as a result of this we can now offer our V6 Engine package for other Experimental aircraft. Contact Supermarine Aircraft for more details.

That’s a surprise. I’d have thought there’d be quite a reasonable size market for them.
