Paul,
What you describe I think is quite normal. My 1800S is very similar. If left for a month the engine has to crank for up to 40 seconds to fire.
If left for only a couple of days, will start immediately.
I don't mind the car churning for up to 40 seconds when left standing for a month or more, as this gives some time for oil to be splashed around lubricating engine internals at cranking speed for this time.
