Looks like the owner upgraded his 1971 quite a bit. I'm pretty sure that tank is from a 1970 or before BSA. I'm pretty sure 71 Lightnings came stock with the modern-butt-ugly rectangular tanks....like that on my 71 Thunderbolt.
If you check around the going rate for a 70 BSA is twice what a 71 brings. I like the tank on yours much better and have been considering the upgrade myself.
As far as brakes.....the stock drums look cool but don't work nearly as well as discs. Same for the front end. The bike you are considering is far from stock but much more roadworthy....and cooler with that classic tank.
