The last workshop manual that Bristols published as far as I am aware was the combined volume for the 407 and 408. I supplemented this with an American Chilton manual that covered the later engines and gearboxes in the cars they were in originally, and some engine and gearbox specific tech books which covered standard overhauls and modification for road and race use.
The 407/408 manuals do turn up from time to time on ebay but are not as comprehensive as the 2 litre manuals at least up to the 405.
If it helps I can dig out the various American books I bought and post a list as most should still be available.

I have just been on eBay (uk site) and there is a 407/408 workshop manual on offer in the Motors section, subsection manuals and literature, opening price just under £50. There is also a 408 handbook and various 2 litre handbooks and parts books from the same vendor.
I have bought Bristol handbooks from this seller recently, condition was as described if not better and they were very well packed for delivery.
I should point out I have no connection with the seller other than being a satisfied customer on several occasions.
