You really need a side elevation pic to see the gap.. but as for the front looking high.. i'd bet its at stock height.
The sunbeams (alpine and tiger) have a high appearence at the front, large gap around the wheel, especially in comparison to they way the rear arch sits in relation ot the rear wheel.
When new the cars sat level, as in the top of the guard line/body runs straight, when the car is like this the front appears to sit high in comparison to the wheel arch, many owners lower the front closer to the tyres.. this not only closes the gap, but actually gives the car a nose down stance. It will actually physically angle the whole body down towards the front.
