If you can keep it on a trickle charger, do so

keep unlocked and widows open slightly

do not periodically start it up, unless run properly and on the road, can cause more harm than good

over inflate tyres to avoid flat spots

cover with a thin cotton sheet, apply a decent wax beforehand

pull out some fuses so it can't be started as leaving unlocked, fuel pump, etc. Remove plug caps and so on

Put a window shelf style dehumidifier in the boot

Cars made in modernish times, say after 1990, store very well with simple precautions.
