Default Finding a shop manual

David, a shop manual shows scarce little about the car and its workings, as it is intended for the informed and experienced mechanic to point out certain aspects that are different from other makes. The Bristol is a combination of a number of different cars, like the Chrysler sourced engine and transmission and other operating pieces from other British and even other country manufacturers.
There is nothing unique about the cars. The hand built body being the exception. Now, if you just want a manual to read at your leisure to better inform yourself of the car, then by all means buy one. My shelves are full of manuals for many makes. I seldom ever go to them as reference.
