It was a quiet announcement here in Jacksonville yesterday until social media and my buddy Harris Snodgrass (Porsche builder and son of the late famed Bob Snodgrass) chimed in. Come 2016, Brumos will be no more.
Family owned and operated Fields has already bought the local Land Rover and Jaguar dealerships, as well as dealerships just outside of JAX in St. Augustine. Brumos owned 9 dealerships in Jacksonville from Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus and Smart Car. Fields will be changing the sign above the door come February 2016.
No word yet on what will become of the famed Brumos Porsche Museum and all those historic race cars, rarities and vintage pristine stock cars. Also no word on if this will be the demise of the Brumos Racing Team (which is what made Brumos the leader in America and a close relationship with Porsche in Stuttgart).
Here is the new article in Jacksonville Business Journal:
