Tessa Valley, 11, of Branford, is seen in the rearview mirror of a 1932 Triumph Super 9 during the “British by the Sea" car show at Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford on Sunday. The car belongs to her grandfather Neville Wardle, and is one of the only in the United States. “When I can drive, I´m gonna learn how to drive this," Tessa said. The annual show was hosted by Connecticut MG Club, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to foster the preservation and community of MGs and other vintage British motor cars. Over 350 British cars, trucks and motorcycles participated in the event. (Sarah Gordon/The Day)
