The person behind TMJC
Matt Johnston
A lifelong passion for cars
and the stories behind them.
I founded The Matt Johnston Collection to share the knowledge, experience and enthusiasm built up through years of buying, selling and living with interesting cars. TMJC Garage is where I bring all of that together — practical guides, model histories and useful detail for people who genuinely care about cars.
Straightforward, independent, and enthusiast-led.
TMJC Garage is researched and written with enthusiasts in mind. The material is checked against manufacturer sources, period literature and specialist references, alongside the wider experience that comes from spending time around these cars.
The aim is simple: clear, useful information that helps you understand, buy, own and enjoy great cars with confidence.
What I focus on
Useful knowledge for real enthusiasts
From modern classics to timeless icons, I focus on the cars that offer something special — and the details that make them worth knowing about. TMJC combines first-hand experience with trusted sources to create practical, easy-to-understand content.

Why I do it
More than just cars
Cars have always been a big part of my life. What fascinates me is not just the engineering, but the stories — the people, the design decisions, the successes and the mistakes that shaped each model.
TMJC Garage gives me the opportunity to combine that passion with detailed research and real-world experience, and to share it with a wider community of enthusiasts.
“Good cars deserve good information. That’s what I aim to provide.”
