T would indicate a flat Type 3 motor that's been converted
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Your chassis number that starts 197 tells you it's a Type 1 (Beetle) made in Australia (9) and it's a 1967 (7).
Almost 50 years after they were built, it would be very unusual nowadays to find a VW still with its original engine. Originally the car would have had a 1300cc single-port engine, but nowadays - could have pretty much anything.
