A vehicle body comprises: a rear wheel housing (107); a rear pillar inner panel (103) extending upwardly from the rear wheel housing (107); a seat belt retractor mounting area (109) comprising an aperture (110) in the rear pillar inner panel (103) for receiving said retractor and a mounting bracket (112) for attaching said retractor. The vehicle body further comprises a reinforcing bracket (113), which one is attached to the rear wheel housing (107), to the rear pillar and to the mounting bracket (112). The vehicle body particularly enables improvements in the torsion stiffness of rear pillars, in a simple and efficient manner. The reinforcing bracket (113) enables the rear pillars to efficiently absorb forces associated with an impact event, when a seat belt retractor mounting area (109) is set in each rear pillar inner panel (103), in the vicinity of the rear wheel housing (107).
