I used to have a 1969 spitfire. I would disconnect the battery - so you don't find yourself with a dead one once you restart it and I covered it with a car cover... that's about it really.
cute car btw :)

I have seen a few articles about how to properly store your car over winter. I think it is a wise idea to remove the battery and have it on a minder to keep the charge up. also storage over long periods of time tends to allow the seals to dry out so go and work the clutch and brake pedals every few weeks. in my state and in many other parts of the world it is a good idea to inform the licensing authority that the car is of the road for the season. I also get a break on the insurance during the period it is sitting. The link is to a article written by a Triumph shop in the UK and it has some sound expert advice on what steps to take when storing your car. I noticed that even in their shop there is a debate about the worth of putting the car on stands.

Apart from the above which are all good answers.
Lift the wheels off the ground and give the battery an equalising charge about every six weeks.
Also if you are in the UK declare the car SORN otherwise you could get a fine.
