To your more seasoned eyes, does this car have a saggy bottom do you think? Or is it the light, photo or surface level?

A slight sag, but you can get spacers for the rear springs.

(Note that a sag while sitting doesn't say anything about the self-levelling system. It may or may not be working.)

It happens after 30 or so years. The cars have self leveling suspension. Maybe it has not been run in a while, the fluid level is low or it needs accumulators.

easy fixed; simply replace the suspension spheres atop the rear damper mounts (in the boot). Their loss of pressure is what causes the sag.

Very cheap to source:

a DIY proposition.
