Will try to start the V6 up today are her laying dormant for 6+months.
Have a new battery as the 3 year old toyota one won't work.
Have ten fresh litres of fuel to put in her.
Anything I need to think or worry about?
Go for it.

As Carolyn said.
In my " dotage" I have left my 2 for 6 months at a time for the last nine years and each time it's started immediately. But then having the experience of my many years I do keep the battery charged up.

Battery cables too tight around the joke that is supposed to be battery tray. They've worn through the insulation.
No wonder this car has given me grief.
