UPDATE:
I received my Renewal letter today for the 1st October 2014 and the car is in the ‘Historic’ class and no longer requires an MOT
So, by simply using my 16 digit reference number on the reminder (V11) I was able to apply on line via the new service at http://www.gov.uk/vehicletax which with a couple of mouse clicks confirmed that my car is taxed for 12 months from 1st October 2014 and I no longer need to display a Tax Disc and that DVLA won’t be sending one out
