It's not a "S", it's just a cooper........ "Justa"
That's not to say, it could be a "Justa Bitsa" as well.

You have to forgive my friend. He's come by the name second hand. As one of the people who have coined the term, the proper spelling is justacooper. It was shortened to Justa some time later. The term was created after a couple of guys in Southern California would show up to local BMWCCA AutoX and routinely place ahead of their harder breathing brethren.

That could be taken as somewhat derogatory, and it has been used that way. I.e., I couldn't be seen in just a Cooper, I had to have an S. Many of us took some exception to this attitude, knowing there's more to a Cooper than meets the eye, and took up the mantle proudly. The JustaCooper (or Justa for short) Owners Club was born!
