Alvis, the British maker of tanks and armoured vehicles, today agreed to a £309m takeover by General Dynamics, as the US defence giant steps up its presence in Europe.

General Dynamics, which makes the Abrams tank, submarines, guns and battlefield communications systems, said the purchase would help it "strategically expand" its European armoured vehicle business.
