"No need to worry - they're Mark II models"?

I definitely think you should stick with the "MK II"...

I take offence to the space between 'MK' and 'II'. Kindly remove it.

Could you not just quote the part number?

Failing that, MkIIs.

See my previous point about the problematic lower-case 'k' ...

It seems to one of those things that is down to personal preference as there arent any rules even with or without the gap between the two.

If i had to choose between any of them i would choose MKII.

I did a Google search for "MKII Jaguar" just to see how the term is used or written by others.

HAW!  :)

As a newspaper sub, I'm often asked by staff, "What's the house style for...?"

Very often an annoying conversation ensues, with the result: "Just fucking rewrite it!"

How do you differentiate between mark twos and elevens when you go for MK11s?

I was born on the twenty second of February so when I do the lottery I always mark twos.

Sounds like number two to me.
