Aye, still taxed.
From the Gov.uk website....
1599 (GKA 24N) NEW 01-11-1974, TAX 01-01-2016, 11100ccDIESEL, BLUE.

Its obviously not blue (although it might've been some time ago), but it still seems to use the Leyland O.680 engine of 11.1 litre capacity.

As seen 24 years ago, St Johns Lane, in service with Merseybus....

Notice the Taxi Rank and lay-by on St Johns Lane, and the awful, ugly-looking Concourse House office block in the background on Lime Street.
I'm glad that's been demolished!
