Five framed British Surrealist postcards, published by the Surrealist Group in England and showing E. L. T. Mesens' The Well of Truth, produced for the International Surrealist Exhibition, 1936each 15 x 11cmOn Thursday 11 June 1936, Britain’s very first Surrealist exhibition opened at the Burlington Galleries. Representing fourteen nations, the exposition included works by Dali, Agar, Oppenheim, Duchamp, Man Ray, Banting, Magritte, Picasso, Fini, Calder and Breton, amongst many others. Representing Belgium was E.L.T Messens, who produced the present postcards to advertise the show. In addition to the flat art and sculptures displayed in the gallery, a number of symposiums and performances were held. Dali, for example, held a lecture whilst wearing a deep-sea diving suit, whilst, on another occasion, poet Dylan Thomas carried around a cup of boiled string, asking visitors would they rather it "weak or strong?”. Initially opening to a crowd of around 2,000, the daily visitor numbers to the exhibition averaged around 1,000 until its close on Saturday 4 July 1936.

Aesthetically, the RS Turbo was given a distinctive sporty appearance with a body coloured front grille, bumpers and aerodynamic aids. On the tailgate, an XR3i spoiler (also body coloured) was fitted together with 'RS Turbo' decals. The interior was trimmed in a combination of Monza and Cashmere fabrics and XR3i-type Recaro LS bucket seats were fitted as standard. Production was limited to only 5,000 examples and many were modified in period for racing.Originally registered on 13th January 1986 this delightful RS Turbo has been restored of which there is photographic evidence in the history folder. The car comes supplied with the original service books and a collection of invoices. The very knowledgeable and fastidious vendor has ensured the quality of this Ford has been maintained, having recently fitted a new turbo, new brakes and new front suspension. We are advised also that a new clutch has been fitted and there is a slight amount of clutch judder when pulling away in 1st gear. Prior to auction the car will have a fresh MoT and a V5 document is present in the documentation. This is a genuine opportunity to purchase every 80's schoolboy's dream car and a rare treat to find one in such fine condition.
