Velocette file

The Veeline was a Valiant wearing a full glass-fibre dolphin fairing with a big screen, a fascia for speedometer and ammeter and a small glove box. Velocette aimed it at the growing scooter market, but the engine was unchanged and the fairing added weight and cost, so it sold badly.
