New car specification changed without notification

Picked up a new Meriva SE on 1st november. One of the reasons I purchased the SE model was it had a 7 function computer which included a digital speedometer, this was featured in its brochure, and was confirmed by the sales team.

It now turns out that this car does not have a digital speedometer and has only 4 functions on the computer. The company is claiming it has the right to change specifications without notice. Do I have any comeback? Are there any actions I can take?

Unfortunately the company is right. And in court this would be regarded as too trivial anyway.
