<p>A vehicle body comprises a frame (1) and a roof (10) held above said frame (1) so as to be movable between a closed configuration in which it covers a passenger compartment and an open configuration in which the passenger compartment is uncovered. The passenger compartment has at least one door (4). At least one pair of pillars (12) is mounted to said frame (1) to the rear of said door (4) for supporting the roof (10) in its closed configuration. The roof (10) is adapted to assume an intermediate configuration between its open and closer configurations in which the roof (10) is spaced apart from said pillars (12).
