Saddle to bar height actually looks quite relaxed by retro standards! But riser bar or shorter stem (with rise) will both sit you more upright.
If replacing bar you need 25.4 mm. Modern ones are fatter (31.8 mm) and won't fit through the stem.
I don't know if that fork has a 1" or 1 and 1/8th steerer. You need to know that if replacing the stem. Hopefully someone that knows Saracens will know and will advise.
Still a nice bike for £30 and setting them up is all good fun (I hope).
