Drive it. Provided the dealer is reputable a quick check of tyres/fluids/engine start/brakes. A drive round the carpark first. Contingency plan if any blatant problems. A back-up with a trailer if you are very concerned.
Select a good route home on less congested roads.
A nice cruise home with aching cheeks from smilingand replying to admirers. A couple of stops on route for a coffee/toilet break.
Take a GoPro or similar to film the experience. The start of a log of ownership.

As far as helmets I like my "Sterling Moss Style" Helmet.
I think there is nothing better to go with the car. Just this man's opinion! That helmet is awesome! What brand is it? Where did you get it?

Chaps. Can I correct you? The name is Stirling Moss, or more correctly Sir Stirling Moss.

I see several places offering reproductions of Stirling Moss style helmets. For me, 795-895 pounds is a bit much for a helmet guaranteed to have little to no safety value. Looks good, though.

Holdens ( www.holden.co.uk) do a Classic helmet with Peak in white for £259 It's not quite as nice but a bit more cost effective

Helmet and goggles on and drive it like you stole it  . Make sure you have carried out your pre flight checks before you set off though. Enjoy, your life will never be the same again  .
