A Motor vehicle having a stowable roof

摘要

A motor vehicle (5) is disclosed having front and rear roof panels (6 and 7) which can be moved from in use to stowed positions to change the style of the motor vehicle from a two box style to a convertible or pick-up style. A stowage mechanism (30) for the rear roof panel (7) having two interlinked four bar linkages is disclosed which allows a small linear actuator (33) to produce the range of displacement required to stow the rear roof panel (7).
