The first of the three cars used in the second amphibious car challenge to be miniaturised by Oxford Diecast was the Dampervan, a modified Volkswagen T3 used by Top Gear host Richard Hammond in Series 10, Episode 2. Its production code was TG01.

The model is highly accurate to the van as it appeared in the episode. It resembles a road-going T3 but has a canal boat-like exterior, with four cutouts for each of the wheels. These wheels bear the same style of cheap hubcap which Hammond had mounted to them on its real-life rendition.
