Is it making a clicking noise if so then if it is a manual put in first gear rock it and see if it frees it up  :) make sure the ignition is turned off though  :y

All other (primitive) electrics seem to be ok.  Ignition lights reported OK, Car runs ok when force started.

So;

Starter motor/solenoid would be my port of call.  Check all connections first.  Make sure all are solid and free from corrosion.  Then start replacing.
