Do all the usual winter checks (lights, coolant, oil level, washer bottle as its an offence to have it empty etc), ensure your HT leads are in good condition and that there is no moisture on them, also when were your spark plugs changed? if you cant answer that question then id say you need them changed (should be every 3 years on the service schedual for a classic) 
oh and some wd40, comes in handy
