1995 C280 periodic no start, then operates 100%

First off, I am on the way to Doc. appt. all day.
No time to search the archives. I apologize.

Yesterday, 55 deg. outside, the 95 C280 , 98K miles and new wires and coils, sparks good- new battery, had a blue moon episode of not starting right away.
I drove/parked to about 3 stops before parking it at Costco. After about 30 min, I returned and the car would not start.
Key turned in ignition would not elicit any response other than dash lights. (no other responses) Would not start in neutral, so I don't suspect the trans shift switch.

This happens on a blue moon.
Maybe once every two years.
I sat it out and popped the hood to look inside etc.
After about 15 min of sitting, it worked OK.

This is the usual symptom and resolution that I have experienced in the past.

It operates fine now as in the past, without any repeat until another blue moon.

What could cause this?? (its not due to my not having foot on brake)

Thanks
