Car on order, but price has increased - where do I stand?

A couple of months ago I placed an order for a new car. It's being built next week and will be delivered next month. However, the manufacturer's price for the car has just been increased. Where do I stand? Can I insist that the original figures are honoured?

No. Because the dealer has no control over the manufacturer's price and that will be written into the contract.
