Richard, the Owners Manual is pretty basic stuff, nothing like a workshop manual.
I'm not sure which Bristol model was the last to have a proper workshop manual, but once Tony Crook took over, detailed information ceased to be issued by the company. This may have been due to ever reducing numbers of cars sold, or secrecy as part of his marketing strategy.
Thankfully the cars are really quite straightforward.
They have a bog standard Chrysler V8 (yours will be a 383), a standard Torqueflite transmission (727) and a Salisbury rear axle (often with a limited slip diff), ZF power steering and Girling brakes.
There are a few unusual aspects, like some of the front suspension components, but all the information you need is on this site. If you drill down in the Resources section you will find parts lists for the 410, but that shares many components with the 411.
Also, some components are unique to Bristol. Brake discs, bumpers and front screens come to mind, and some suspension components.
If you need to know anything, just ask!
