Hi, again!
I checked with RB and got the following reply:
Dear Mr. Lagercrantz,
Thank you for your inquiry. The book you are asking about, ISBN:
0-946-489-998, is not a Bentley publication. You may be able to find
out through a bookstore who the publisher is, and how to obtain it.
The Bentley book, however, ISBN: 0-8376-0564-4, is in stock and costs
$70.00. If you would like to order this book, visit our website or
call me at our toll-free number. If you have any further questions,
feel free to call or e-mail me.

...either you or Bentley is wrong. Wonder if it's the same anyhow. The
Bentley Publication Jill is refering to is 272 pages. Well let's leave
it with that (but I can't resist to ask the numer of pages in yours).

No, my workshop manual is ISBN 0 946 489 998. It's a large, green softcover
book that says:
HERALD 1200, 1250, 13/60
VITESSE 6
and
SPITFIRE Mk.1, 2, & 3
WORKSHP MANUAL
On the inside, it says "issued by the service division Standard-Triumph
sales limited, a member of the Leyland Motor Corporation, Coventry England.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Jeff
