Theyve moved the comma in the advert so it now reads £29,950.00

Sorry but that is balls.
That is not how contracts work. So I am afraid you can advertise at any price you like. You dont have to sell for that price. An ins co would have let him have that as a good will gesture.

This is true! An advert is not an offer to sell. Therefore there is no offer for the buyer to accept. An advert is just that - an advert. And to conclude the sale the buyer must make an offer to purchase. If you offer the price quoted in the ad the seller has no obligation to accept it.

I love contract law

I remember that Griff at TMS a while back (last year) has it returned again, like heartburn?

I saw it there in April with a W8 MAD no plate.
I'm assuming there is only one that colour.
I understand that the original owner traded it for an all black tuscan

Yep, the price is an invitation to treat at said price, the seller does not have to accept your offer. However, the seller cannot advertise at a low price and then only sell at a high price, they either sell at the price advertised, or don't sell it to you.

Does the sale of goods act not protect the consumer inasmuch an advertised price is in fact the price at sale?

? Didnt realise 14 yr olds understood contract law ! ?
Read the other posts - you can advertise at any price, that is not a contract or an offer. The ins co 'quote' might well be different but I stand by the good will gesture statement nonetheless.
