I wonder if Morgans are prone to the clutch sticking when left standing for several months? I never have had to find out as mine are run regularly. Never seems to happen with old Land Rovers though which are left for months without use - they wont start usually but thats another matter

I've had the clutch stick on my '76, but then I'd been drving around in the +4 for 6 months... Not a problem now...

Having spent 20 odd years working away from home in the past for 5-6 months at a time... battery conditioner / humidifer & vermin free garage should be fine, I never use to apply handbrake and rolled car into lay up position without using the brakes [so they did not stick]
Had the clutch stick a few times on Landrovers & TR6 ...I was always lucky and managed to free them up by driving them in first gear ...with foot hard on brake & clutch & accelerator all at the same time !

The winter was so cold a couple of year ago the oil went thick in the gearbox I and was unable to change gear thank goodness I had not parked it in gear. I had to start the mog and run it for a while for a bit of give in the oil .

I would also suggest that you consider putting her up on 4 axle stands, this will not only stop pressure and possible flat spotting the tyres but will relieve the pressure off of bearings and bushes which can be affected by just sitting their under load for a long time. This will put load on the bottom springs of the front suspension, but should be ok. Personally I would rather replace those than than bushes and bearings.
Other views on this would be worth while.
