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.

Developed as competition for the emerging scooter market, the Veeline, but still had the underpowered engine of the Valiant and did not sell in sufficient numbers. The big fairing also added 21 pounds (9.5 kg) to the weight and £21 to the cost and after poor sales Velocette decided to stop production of the model in 1961.
