neat street:
As already mentioned, check the earth leads first, and also the solenoid as both of these would create the issues you describe. Had the same problem with a Mini, new starter, new battery, then found dodgy earth.

Lobo:
If you'd like to retain the original starter, and the connections etc are found to be good you could strip it down, put the spindle in an electric drill & clean the commutator with fine emery. After this get a hardwood pick & scrape out all the carbon lodged in the commutator slots. And perhaps treat it to new brushes (DSS I suspect). Nothing too skilful here, just an hour or two of your time.
