1 JONATHON E LYONS Presents THE JEWEL OF THE CAPE 2009 Sunday 1st to Saturday 14th of February A Five Star luxury Motoring Tour of this magnificent region of South Africa THE JEWEL THAT IS EUROPE II

3 The Jewel Events History Dear Friends, 'The Jewel that is Jordan' was founded in The event took place for the first time in the stunning surroundings of The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: 44 rare and classic cars set off from the Red Sea port of Aqaba to experience the breathtaking landscape and historic destinations there. Continuing with this unique event, 'The Jewel' came back to The Kingdom in 2005, this time with 56 precious vintage vehicles. In May 2007, 41 extraordinary vehicles were invited back to The Kingdom to join again 'The Jewel that is Jordan III'. This has become one of the most prestigious motoring events in the world today, and The Jewel That is Jordan IV is scheduled for October 2008 through the amazing demand for this adventure. 'The Jewel that is Europe' is a motoring adventure across Europe another Jewel Event. Created for those with suitable cars, to navigate roads that pass through spectacular scenery with the most amazing vistas. Participants will always enjoy the most luxurious hotel accommodation at the end of each day. 'The Jewel of Europe I', started from the Chateau de Montfort in France, situated in the 'Périgord Noir' region; famous for its black truffle and foiegras. The journey took the cars through many historic and scenic places in France and Italy. The Grand Finale Gala Dinner was held at the Palazzo Ducale di Monforte in the picturesque village of Fragneto Monforte; a stone s throw from the Almafi Coast. Again due to the resounding success of the first we are shortly embarking on the Jewel That Is Europe II in June. 'The Jewel That is Europe II', will commence from Beaulieu Sur-Mer, on the 6th June, 2008 and will finish once again at The Palazzo Ducale to be followed by a Black Tie Gala Dinner on the 13th of June, 2008, at home, by gracious invitation of The Princess Pignatelli di Strongoli; overlooking the spectacular Bay of Naples. In September last year The Jewel Events produced The Jewel That is China, the first time private cars from many countries from around the world travelled from Shanghai to Beijing, a truly unique experience for all those involved and produced at the request of the Government of the People's Republic of China. We now have the utmost pleasure in being able to announce 'THE JEWEL OF THE CAPE '. This we feel will be perhaps the most amazing Jewel Event yet, fourteen days of shear luxury, the finest hotels, wine and food one could imagine, as well as a driving experience that will not fail to astonish you, the routes without exception are scenic to the extent of being awesome, never failing to offer excitement and visual beauty. The roads themselves are also exceptionally well maintained. We so look forward to welcoming our past friends as well as new friends on this the first 'JEWEL OF THE CAPE '. It is our intention always to make our events an unforgettable adventure, enjoying the best regional food and wine available and provide a memorable driving experience. The event is limited to 30 cars only. Participation is by invitation only. This distinguishes this Car Tour from all the 'usual' lifestyle rallies. With warm regards to you all, old friends and new!!
