Hiya Dave.
Good advice given.
I'd start with the battery - make sure the electrolyte is up to level and let it have a dam good trickle charge - say 24 hours or so.
Then, you can see if there is fuel as described above. I'd whip the plugs out, and spin the engine over (easier on the battery and saves fouling plugs)and check for fuel.
As it's been stood for a while the fuel may have drained back to the tank (?) and might take a bit more cranking than normal to get it up to the carbs - just a thought. So don't be afraid to let it crank for a while. And, is there any fuel in the tank?
Whilst the plugs are out you could give them a clean and check the gap. No harm in checking for a spark - but if the car worked when you put it away, it's less likely to be this.
You might have to re-charge your battery at this stage if you've flattened it, but if not, connect up and give it a whirl. Use jump leads and connect to another for a bit of extra boost if you have any doubt over the battery at this stage.
I tend to use one of those battery mate little chargers to keep the battery(ies) topped up during periods of inactivity. I'm swopping it between 3 batteries at the moment - which is a bit of a a pain, so thinking of investing in another, maybe another two, to save forgetting. As I do regularly!
Hope this helps, and keep us posted.
