I had that symptom on my (Vitesse) clutch the last time I refitted the engine.
Mine was just excess pressure in the hydraulic system holding the clutch plate half way disengaged. Try putting the car in gear and see if it still rolls. If it does (or even if it doesn't, what've you got to lose?) - put a cloth over the outlet pipe on the clutch master cylinder and momentarily loosen the securing nut. Mine gave a spurt of fluid accompanied by a 'clunk' as the clutch disengaged. It's been fine ever since. Just a thought.
