9: Miscellany (What "Prisoner" material can I find in the real world?)
The Mini-Moke toy (the "Taxi" seen in the series) was available
during the time of original broadcast, and is now considered a
serious collectors' item. The Six of One organization has
obtained at least one of the two real vehicles that were used in
the series. Also available at that time were "Prisoner" watches
(with the penny farthing symbol on the face). Both of these are
no longer available.
Caterham Cars sells a metal miniature model of the Super Seven for
about $40 (It's about 3 inches long). A Japanese firm sells a
plastic version for slightly less:

materials which it sells to non-members. For more information,
contact them directly through the address above.
Some items the U.S. viewers see as novel collectables (such as the
telephones) are (or were) fairly common items in the U.K. and were
not specific to "The Prisoner".
There was an adventure game during the late 70's for Atari and
Apple computers, called "The Prisoner". It was made by
"Edu-Ware", and was loosely based on the show.
There is a "Prisoner" sourcebook for the GURPS role-playing system
