Now even though the car has done little work, (72 Thousand k's) but the age of the car is now 20 years, so would these ageing coil packs cause an issue now that all the other components around it in conjunction are new and fresh ??

Could the stalling issue been related to a dying coil pack ?, I ask this question as I thought that if it was the case the coil pack would cause a persistent miss or the car would run rough ?, not just die like it did. But could this be a possibility ?.
It is possible, but I figure its unlikely to make the engine die/stall, and then run well when it doesnt play up.

Have you checked the crank position sensor and wires? That playing up will kill the engine in an instant, just putting ideas out there.
