Id be thinking poor earthing personally, maybe combined with a sticky solenoid, although it would definately be worth investigating as I doubt it would be expensive
Anyways.

alternator poss.
Only previous symptom was seeming inability to maintain a charge in any battery so it ran fine but then wouldn't start by the following day.
All started with battery and brake warning lights on dash followed by a new alternator about 3 weeks ago.
Never kept charge after that.
