The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A vehicle folding roof, comprising three rigid roof elements, namely a front element (1), an intermediate element (2) and a rear element (3) movable between a position in which they cover the passenger compartment (4) of the vehicle and a position in which they are stored superposed substantially horizontally inside the rear boot (5) of the vehicle, characterised in that the front element (1) is linked to the intermediate element (2), in that the rear element (3) is not linked to the intermediate element (2) and can be moved towards the rear boot (5) by driving means independent of those controlling the movement of the intermediate element (2) and the front element (1) towards the rear boot (5), in that the intermediate element (2) is linked to the vehicle body by two arms (6, 7) articulated to said body and to said intermediate element (2), one of said two arms (6, 7) being associated with means controlling its pivoting, the front of the intermediate element (2) being linked to the front element (1) by two levers (13, 14) articulated to said intermediate element (2) and to said front element (1), one (6) of said arms being linked to one (14) of said levers by a link rod (19) articulated to said arm (6) and to said lever (14).
2. A retractable roof according to claim 1, characterised in that the movement of the rear element (3) towards the boot (5) is controlled, on the one hand, by a pivoting arm (22, 22a) articulated to the body and to said rear element (3) and, on the other hand, by a groove (25, 25a) extending into the rear boot (5) in which there is fitted a finger (26, 26a) carried by the rear of said rear element (3) so as to be able to slide in said groove (25).
3. A retractable roof according to claim 1, characterised in that the movement of the rear element (3) towards the boot (5) is controlled by two pivoting arms spaced apart articulated on the one hand to the body and on the other hand to said rear element (3).
4. A retractable roof according to claim 1, characterised in that the movement of the rear element (3) towards the boot (5) is guided by two grooves spaced apart extending into the rear boot in which there are fitted two fingers carried by the rear of said rear element (3).
