Hi,

I can't hear a miss in it, therefore i don't think its the headgasket.

However by the sounds of it, i would say it was either drivin on hard when cold or ran without oil.
 
Same as JLenno says The engine sounds like it is firing properly but it does sound quite tappy. Perhaps with the car being stood for a long time some of the automatic tappets have drained and just need a run to refill. If the oil is old or due for a change you may aswell do it now and check oil level at the least once a week.

A compression test will give a good indication of the engines condition.
