If appearance is not a hot issue try flat blades, they are cheap and I 
found them to work well. I have replaced the blades on my modern cars 
with flat blades.
If the wipers are driven by cable you may be able to fit a Lucas 2-sp 
wiper motor from eg a Jensen Healey, Triumph TR6/spitfire, mg and may 
other Brits.
