They run up to the ignition module. The module uses the signal from those wires to know when to create spark. Looks like this. Has many wires connected to it, including those green and red ones.

Here's a decent relay instructional video.

You can add a relay as cgsheen suggests, which will take the current to the solenoid out of the switch, or you can bypass all of the inhibitors and other safety features. I would start by checking for voltage on the wire that comes from S on the ignition switch when you turn the key to Start. If there's none there then you need an ignition switch. If you have voltage then you can add a relay or by pass each safety on the path to the starter solenoid. It would be best to also test under load, using a test light that draws some current, like a taillight bulb. I have found that the staked pins (copper color) can get loose and lose contact with the terminal. I had a 78 switch that would grab the starter then let go as I turned the key. The pin was loose. I fixed it with a hammer and a chisel. The terminals are marked with molded in letters. Look closely if you remove yours.

Nice catch. I read that comment but it was so bland that it was almost invisible. Thought it was a person commenting just to comment.

Apparently the seller wants ~$78,000. Had not heard of "Super Samuri" before. I assume the non-traditional spelling is intentional. Seems odd. Seems similar to the Scarab program in the States. Tip - if you highight the words in the sky they will change to text that is readable. https://www.samuri.uk/ https://www.samurimotorcompany.com/history-of-samuri-motor-company

Those knee replacements seem to be hit or miss. I've seen people with the good ones but also seen those with not-so-good. Hard to tell how to make sure you get a good one. If you're planning to get one do the research and try to increase your odds. Actually, that applies to any surgery in today's modern medical-industrial complex. Once you get on the conveyor belt it's hard to get off in good shape. Healing can take a while though. Those short-time "back to normal" piece-of-cake no-problems stories are rare.

Super Will Know! Amazing how these "professionals" can put something out on the WORLD WIDE WEB with such a simple spelling error. Bizzare. Uploading Attachment...

Pretty nice 72 with a ~100,000 mile rebuild engine. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-377/

What's the tach needle doing when it's missing? Those E12-80's are all old, or if they're not they're probably aftermarket. Maybe it's failing.
