personally I wouldnt think twice about firing it right up, letting it idle for 10 seconds, then driving it down the road. I have dismantled engines that have been sat about for years doing nothing and the pistons/rings etc are usually all still coated with oil, if there was any pitting in the bores due to moisture then the damage is done anyway, but that is highly unlikely. But its certainly not a bad idea to pull the fuel pump relay out and crank it over for a few seconds, especially for the supercharger like people say. Make sure you dont have your foot on the throttle when starting it though, best to let it do nothing but idle for a good 10 seconds.
Its german, im sure it will be fine lol. I bought a beetle that had been sat in a shabby lockup for 10 years, it was rotten like a vegatable, but we freed the brakes, dragged it back home and with a pair of jump leads I started it up and drove it on the 10 year old fuel that was in the tank! Although a beetle will probably run on paraffin lol.
