Default Headliner fabric

Unfortunately my XJS headliner is starting to sag. I would like to replace the headliner with the original material. I am unaware of a purchase source in the US, but a European source would help.
THANKS

aftrburner1, I'm not sure where you could get the actual material Jaguar uses, but I have replaced more headliners over the years than I care to remember, Jaguar, Ford, Chevrolets, Mercedes Benz and a Chrysler Crosffire. I always found actual headliner material at large Fabric stores like Hancocks. Also I have found some through my local auto parts store.

I've got a black coupe and 90 degree plus days in Houston. I am concerned fabric/foam will not hold up. Any suggestions?

No suggestions but hopefully the foam backing ....that's what dries out....used nowadays is better than the stuff commonly used in the 80s.

As for buying the material, I always just take a sample to the local auto upholstery shop and they can always come up with a match
