That really does look lovely
As for starting, I suppose it depends how long it's been sat for.
If it's been in there for years, then the petrol is probably well past it's best, so could be worth draining, or if there's hardly anthing in there, whack a load of Optimax on top of it.
Any engine that has been sat for a long time could have things stuck, so I'd whip the plugs out and drop a touch of clean oil down each cylinder to soak into the rings for a bit first.
Then I'd turn the crank by hand to make sure everything is ok.
A really good crank over with the king lead disconnected to get the oil back up to the head and into the lifters as they will have no doubt drained.
Then connect everything up and go for it
You may find it a little tappety until the lifters pump full of oil and free themselves up, but shouldn't take long.
