The 1959 Velocette Veeline (also known as the Vee Line) was the same as a standard Valiant with a 'dolphin' full fairing made of fibre glass that had big windscreen, a fascia panel housing the speedometer and ammeter, as well as a small glove box. The headlamp was mounted on brackets that were fixed in the fairing so that it could be adjusted but didn't turn with the forks.
