Lili Myers sold more than 300 of Dave Myers' personal items at auction on what would have been his 69th birthday. The sale of Hairy Bikers belongings brought in around £20,000.
Among the pieces offered were motorbike leathers, Strictly Come Dancing shoes, colourful waistcoats, guitars and a silver-plated moustache brush. The items came from a collection Myers left behind after he died from cancer aged 66 in 2024.
Lili Myers and The Hairy Bikers
Myers was one half of The Hairy Bikers alongside Si King, and the auction turned private possessions into money in a single sale rather than a piecemeal release over time. The total shows how a broad mix of personal items, rather than one headline object, can add up when collectors bid across several lots.
Some of the proceeds were directed to the NSPCC. The sale added a charitable element to the auction, but the available facts do not say how much of the £20,000 total went to the charity.
NSPCC proceeds
The collection ranged from stage and screen items to everyday pieces linked to Myers' life, which helped explain the appeal of the sale. For readers who want the practical bottom line, the key figure is the total raised: around £20,000 from more than 300 items.
That leaves one unresolved point in the public record from the sale itself: how much reached the NSPCC. The auction has already happened, and the number that now matters is the share of that total that was set aside for charity.
