    Abstract: The present invention (with reference to FIG. 1) relates to a vehicle (10) having a removable rigid roof (20) which can be attached by releasable attachment means above and covering a cabin of the vehicle 10. The removable rigid roof (20) is provided with a pair of hinged sections (40) each hingedly connected to the remainder of the removable rigid roof (20). Each hinged section (40) can be pivoted between a first position in which the hinged section (40) lies in the plane of the rigid roof (20) and a second position in which the hinged section is pivoted upwardly out of the plane of the rigid roof (20). Each hinged section (40) has a transverse edge which lies above one of a pair of doors of the vehicle (10) when the hinged section is in the first position thereof. Pivoting of each hinged section (40) to the second position thereof creates an aperture lying adjacent one of the pair of doors, which aperture aids ingress to and egress from the vehicle (10).
