One easy tip to avoid starting problems following storage, which is rarely a problem with a car like a C900 with Bosch LH injection, is to start it periodically, like once a week or so. Ideally it should be run up to normal operating temp. and driven around some, but if it's well tuned running it for just a minute or so won't really hurt anything. It may carbon up the plugs a little but once you drive it good they're OK. It also shouldn't hurt to put a little gas dryer in your tank but again, not essential. If you consider disconnecting the battery be aware that that may complicate weekly starting owing to ECU handshake (write down your radio code too). Ironically, not driving a car is sometimes harder on it than the alternative. I've worked on well tuned C900 turbos that started and ran like banshees after sitting outside in total neglect for WAY more than six months. Oh yea, Winter is six months up here. That's one reason I drive a Saab. Cheers.
