If you have no luck there try http://www.thhs.co.uk/products/general-parts/motors/single-shafted-motors/They have Smiths type motors - I'd hazard a guess they have a modern one that'll fit.

Quick update
Did the old fashioned thing and took it to pieces before ordering new/replacement. There is a 'cir clip' type washer that centralises the armature onto a dimple in the housing. The clip and armature end had become rusty over winter. A bit of emery over the armature, a blast of WD40 and a blob of grease to hopefully keep the damp out have the fan spinning freely again.

Well done. And a good saving as well I suspect
