It's a small world. I think the winner of that derby was Brett Thompson from Sydney. He was a great derby driver in the 90's when they got lots of cars each race. Now we are lucky to get 20 cars at Parramatta!

Going back to the original Topic though how can you say the VEs looks have not changed from the VB?
For a start VB/VC/VH had that ugly plastic triangle in the C pillar which was replaced with a nice extra window in the VK.
