Hi mate, a mate of mine had an original porsche 911 targa and put it away to bed most of the year, it had its wheels off on axle stands so no weight on the suspension or brakes,sat in a heated carpeted garage and nothing seized up at all .
But i would say you have the best opportunity to tinker and strip and grease all you can.

worth just jacking up every corner andspinning everywheel as standing for any length of time can cause anything to seaze and grease to dry out, just grease as much as you can and make sure everything moves freely. worth checking to see if the tyres have any wear marks if it wasnt sat on jacks as it can ruin the side wall on them sitting still especially if theyve lost pressure.
