I own a 50 yrs old Bentley, so the engine will be quite similar.
I suggest first to see if the engine has any movement anyhow.
Refill, when it will move, with fresh oil. But put oil also directly on the
valve-system after removing the valve-cover.

Before starting give the fule pump some time to build up pressure (few
minutes). Ingintion must be on.

When you are lucky and the engine will fire and the car will drive don't
fotget to regrease every moving part.
