Ferrari Mondial 1988 30000miles US version

Usually the engine starts normally when the key is turned. Sometimes (maybe 2 out 10 times) the engine does not turn when the key is turned, even though the lights turn on and one can hear the usual electrical hiss indicating power is being supplied.
What are the possibilities for the source of the problem starting with the most likely?
Thanks in advance.

Check automatic transmission shifter to comfirm it is in N or P. When you get a no start condition, keep key turned to start and shake shifter. Does foot need to be on Clutch to start;, check that too.
