Jut to repeat what Davidup has said on the previous post. A V112 is not required when taxing a vehicle that is already in the historic class. You will just be asked to confirm that it meets the requirements and has not been modified outside of the regulation

Thank you for this information. I have emailed the DVLA about this. My 1968 Bantam is a 'historic' vehicle so should be covered. Thanks again.

Just received a reply form DVLA
Thank you for your email enquiry dated 20 May 2018, concerning the above.
Under new legislation that came into effect on 20 May 2018, certain vehicles constructed or first registered more than 40 years ago are now exempt from MOT testing, unless they have been substantially changed.
As long as the DVLA have a date of manufacture/first use on the vehicle record which shows the vehicle is over 40 years old, the on-line tax renewal system should pick up that the vehicle is MOT exempt.
If, for some reason, the system is still not allowing a vehicle to be taxed, there is also a V112 (self-declaration from MOT) application form that can be completed and taken to a Post Office.
The V112 can be found here and was updated to show the above exemption on 20 May 2018.
I hope this information has assisted you with your enquiry, but if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.
