The AJB Nippy was powered by a 1.1-liter, four-cylinder engine, which produced around 85 horsepower. The engine was sourced from the well-known Coventry Climax, a British engineering company that supplied engines to various racing teams. The Nippy's engine was mounted behind the driver, which helped to improve traction and stability.
In British English, the word "nippy" traditionally meant "able to move quickly" or "fast". It was also famously used in the 1920s to describe the agile, quick-moving waitresses at J.

This "unfinished" look has aged remarkably well. In the modern era, where vintage cars are celebrated for their mechanical honesty, the Nippy stands out as a sculpture of exposed engineering. There is no hiding the leaf springs or the chassis rails; the car proudly wears its skeleton on the outside.
