All models had the smoke grey turn signals this year. All models (except the Holland & Holland Edition) got bright trim on the side rub strips, but not the front bumper (the super limited edition Linley Edition and some other models in Europe also had bright trim on the front bumper, but I’m guessing that U.S. laws prevented Land Rover from adding the front bumper bright trim to US model). Colors: (Alveston Red Blenheim Silver, Bonatti Grey Chawton White, Epsom Green Java Black, Kent Green Oslo Blue, White Gold Metalic on SE) Alveston Red, Blenheim Silver Bonatti Grey, Chawton White, Epsom Green Java Black, Kent Green Oslo Blue, White Gold Metalic on HSE)
An airbag warning sticker was added to the dash on all models in addition to the airbag warnings on both sun visors. Interior Colors: (Granite Gray and Walnut on SE) (Ash Black, Granite Gray, Lightstone, and Walnut on HSE). On the HSE after 2000 the sides of the center console and the cubby box lid were leather.
Accessory packages available on all models in 2001 were:
Freedom Kit - Wrap around brush bar, roof rails, rear lamp guards.
Adventure Kit - Wrap around brush bar, front lamp guards, auxiliary lamps, running boards, roof rails, rear lamp guards, bike rack
Safari
Kit - Wrap around brush bar with winch, auxiliary lamps, front

4.6
SE Edition: Base
price was $62,000. Standard wheels were the five spoke16" "Lightning"
alloys. The SE had only one option a combination of theJAMES navigation
system and an upgraded 460 watt stereo for $3,000.
4.6 HSE
Edition: Base price was $68,000 Standard wheels were the ten
spoke 18' "Hurricane" alloys. The JAMES navigation system was now
standard on the HSE (it was optional on the 2000 HSE). It had a more
powerful 460-watt Alpine stereo (vs. the 300-watt Alpine standard in
the 4.6 SE). The HSE had only had two options, a leather and wood
steering wheel for $400 and a lightstone interior with color keyed
piping on seats and carpet for $750 (see photo at right of
Adam Friedman's 2001 HSE with these options). The color of the
leather parking
brake boots cubby box lids and steering wheels matched the color of the
seats this year (the leather was always black in past years).
30th
Anniversary Edition: Cost $72,900 and a reported 200 of this top
of the line model were made in 2001. The came with everything that the
HSE had including the same ten spoke 18' "Hurricane" alloys. Most (if
not all) had Wimbledon Green exterior paint with body color bumpers
(including the lower edge of the front spoiler). The rocker panels
below the doors and exterior mirrors were also painted body color. A
metal 30th Anniversary badge was on the tailgate below the latch
release in place of the 4.6 HSE stickers (and many also said "30th
Anniversary Edition" on the rear side windows). Inside they had
Wimbledon green carpet and floor mats and lightstone leather seats with
green leather piping. They had green leather arm rests on all four
doors and a two-tone (green and lightstone) leather steering wheel. The
emergency brake handle and shifter were also covered in green leather.
All had full wood trim (in a maple that was a lighter color than the
burl wood on the HSE). The door sill plates were special and said "30th
Anniversary Edition" rather than "Range Rover".
