Very many congratulations , that looks the nuts!
Main advice I'd give is to leave the traction control settings alone until you're well used to the car even if you can pedal a bit.
Needless to say they are a ballistically quick car & the P.Zero Corsa tyres are utter garbage until well above the mid 25C mark, keep an eye on the dash tyre temps before giving it too much welly.

I am fully aware of my inadequacies !
I am coming from a Vanquish and TVR Tuscan , I am guessing that 10 years in the seat of Tuscan is a good grounding in self preservation.
It is a nice spec, not much external carbon but enough.
It is a factory specced car and besides a little less carbon on the inside and outside it is exactly how I would have specced it. I am nervously excited

Fantastic car the best of all the Supercars , presumably McLaren Orange ?Interested in any tips or pre-delivery advice, car was an unbelievable deal but now having a panic Hoping to get out and about in the Summer.
Not much to check over if it’s still in warranty, but a look under front to check any scrapes although most will have them and nothing to worry about. It is has lift just check it works not much else really

Definately some familiar names 
Hope you are well. I have been looking for forever, never quite had the courage. I wanted a spider and looked hard at 12c , 650s, 570s but really wanted a 720s and had made my mind up to buy a coupe. Then Manchester came in with a great offer on a spider and now I am looking forward to picking up next week. It will sit in the garage next to the others.

Ha yes TVR's are indeed a great training ground.
Was brought up on them myself with a S3 & then a series of three Griffiths back in the day, plenty lively on a bumpy road a bit like an unbroken horse!
You'll be amazed how well the Mac will fly down the same roads as if they've been resurfaced as smooth as a billiards table.
On collection day I'd just spend a good bit of time alone looking all over the car including down on hands & knees to identify any marks / dents / missalignments / wheel damage etc as paint work is mega bucks to sort if your paying for it after not documenting it up prior to taking it away.
Anything mechanical will of course be covered by warrenty so no issues if anything there rears its ugly head later on.
