Intermittent electrical fault.

Number-one favourite for your symptom is the smaller wire going to the solenoid on the starter. It may be hanging off the tag, or loose, or dirty, and sometime works, and sometimes not.

Check that first.

The copper contacts in the starter solenoid, mine was the same, you can get a repair kit (new contacts) for about a tenner on flea bay, mine has been spot on since.
