Hi Neil, and welcome to the wild bunch!

No Spark but new coils... Hmmmzzz... I would start with checking the bond straps that connect chassis to engine block, starter motor, alternator and battery.
Also the coil base plate could be faulty, but since our little cars are known for bond strap connection problems ....

Good luck.

Of course, the CAS is always suspect. There are multiple fuses that would be suspect and when running, the ECM is the real controller of the spark.
