Past & Today

After WW-2 Mr Cornelis Zwakman opened a bmc & jaguar garage and became soon a crowded place for good knowledge & service, his sons Pieter & Cor & Tom did grew up in the middle of it and played with cars right from the start.

In the mid 70's Tom started his own jaguar garage to maintain & restore classic jaguars but soon after he realized the need to be more specialized so in 1984 he started Zwakman Motors Europe (ZME).
