Check through the earthing points in the engine bay. Especially between the block and bodywork. You can do a quick test if it does the same again connect a jump lead between the engine block and the battery NEGATIVE and see if that helps it start. Or you could undo all the earth connections and clean them up with sandpaper or a wire brush to shinny metal then smear on some copper based grease to prevent corrosion.
Hope this helps
