Either Memory TARDIS, as it's been called that in publicity material, and it's explicitly called such in dialogue by McCoy, or Remembered TARDIS as that is also said in dialogue by Davison and Baker and used in publicity material. Perhaps "Memory TARDIS" could be a generic page for this special model of TARDIS.

In one unique iteration, the Doctor's TARDIS featured a console room composed entirely of pieces from various other TARDIS consoles. This console room, rather than having a traditional central console, was a compact space where controls were dispersed across the walls and ceiling. The Fifth Doctor speculated that this particular TARDIS was a "remembered TARDIS", a sentiment echoed by the Seventh Doctor, who referred to it as "a memory".
History
Origins
The Sixth Doctor described the remembered TARDIS as housing the stories he and his companions shared, like "ripples on an eternal pond [that were] forever moving [and] forever repeating". (TV: Vengeance on Varos) Tegan hypothesised that the TARDIS was a chance for TARDIS travellers to sit down and think about the ramifications of their adventures, with the Fifth Doctor agreeing that it provided therapy. (TV: Earthshock) Zoe Heriot believed that the TARDIS was responsible for undoing the Time Lords' erasement of her and Jamie McCrimmon's memories. (TV: The Mind Robber)
How the TARDIS operated was a mystery, such as how the victors managed to arrive; while Tegan Jovanka and the Fifth Doctor implied that they appeared in the TARDIS after falling asleep, (TV: Earthshock) Ace remarked that she had been taken from a business meeting when she appeared in the TARDIS. (TV: The Curse of Fenric) When Peri Brown appeared before the Sixth Doctor, who had been relaxing with a book in the TARDIS, a distinct sound was heard, indicating she had been teleported in. (TV: Vengeance on Varos)
The incarnations of the Doctor that arrived in the TARDIS were also older looking, (TV: Earthshock, Vengeance on Varos, The Curse of Fenric) with the Seventh Doctor cryptically saying was due to the time streams being "all a matter of perspective." (TV: The Curse of Fenric)

Appearance
The exterior of the TARDIS resembled a police box, with the same colouring as that of the Thirteenth Doctor's TARDIS exterior.
The TARDIS interior features a cluttered collection of various other TARDIS control consoles, such as a segment of the First and Second Doctor's console, a segment of the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctor's console, the metal girders from the Eighth Doctor's console room, a segment of the War Doctor's console, some coral "roundels" from the Ninth and Tenth Doctor's console room, a segment of the Eleventh Doctor's first console, a segment of the Twelfth Doctor's console, some hexagonal "roundels" from the Thirteenth Doctor's console room, and the Third and Fourth Doctor's console in the ceiling. When stories were told, a miniature version of the Thirteenth Doctor's console rested on the floor between chairs, resembling a campfire, as the stories were played on a black and white 4:3 television. (TV: Earthshock)
Amongst the clutter in the TARDIS included a fez, a hobby horse, the helmet of Sanctuary Base 6 space suit, an "Out of Order" sign, Adric's badge, (TV: Earthshock) Amelia Pond's homemade "Raggedy Man" dolls, the Fourth Doctor's yo-yo, Seventh Doctor's spoons, the 2Dis, a jukebox, a Weapons-grade Cyberman's head, Brendan's clock, a Clockwork Droid mask, the WHO 1 licence plate, the Second Doctor's recorder, (TV: The Mind Robber) a globe, (TV: Vengeance on Varos)
