The Hino Rainbow rolled off the line in 1980 as a bus.
Power is transmitted through a 5-speed manual; 6-speed manual; 3-speed automatic (7M/7W/RB/AB); 5-speed automatic (RJ/RR/HR/II) gearbox.
It replaced the Hino RL and was in turn replaced by the Hino Liesse, Hino Melpha (Tourist coach).

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
