In the beginning (in translation): The Royal Norwegian Automobile Club is the first car organization in Norway. The KNA has lasted almost as long as there have been cars on Norwegian roads, and the club's history is in many ways coincident with the history of motoring in Norway.(Submitted on July 3, 2023.)
The KNA was founded in 1907, the same year that the Norwegian car stock reached three figures. The following year, the KNA became a member of the Federation Internationale de l`Automobile (FIA) - as member club number 13 worldwide.At the time, the vehicle fleet consisted of 30 motorcycles and 70 cars. When did we pass three million?Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, June 21, 20232. Kongelig Norsk Automobilklub / Royal Norwegian Automobile Club Marker - wide view
