Fidelity Advisor Series VI
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02109
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
  You have requested our opinion regarding certain matters in
connection with the issuance of Class A, Class T, and Institutional
Class shares of Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
("Advisor
Intermediate"), a series of Fidelity Advisor Series VI (the "Trust"),
pursuant to a Registration Statement to be filed by the Trust on Form
N-14 ("Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act") in connection with the proposed acquisition by Advisor
Intermediate of all of the assets of Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the "Merged Fund"), also a
series of the Trust, and the assumption by
Advisor Intermediate of the liabilities of the Merged Fund solely in
exchange for Class A, Class T, and 
Institutional Class shares of Advisor Intermediate.
 
  In connection with our services as counsel for the Trust, we have
examined, among other things, 
originals or copies of such documents, certificates and corporate and
other records as we deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of
this opinion.  We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us, the conformity to
original documents of all documents presented to us as copies thereof
and the authenticity of the original documents from which any such
copies were made, which 
assumptions we have not independently verified.  As to various matters
of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon statements and
certificates of officers of the Trust.  Based upon this examination,
we are of the
opinion that the Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class shares of
Advisor Intermediate to be issued pursuant to the Registration
Statement, when issued upon the terms provided in the Registration
Statement, subject to
compliance with the 1933 Act, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and
applicable state law regulating the offer and sale of securities, will
be legally issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
 
  The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a
"Massachusetts business trust."  Under
Massachusetts law, shareholders of a business trust may be held
personally liable for the obligations of the
Trust.  The Trust's Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees
shall have no power to bind any shareholder personally or to call upon
any shareholder for the payment of any sum of money or assessment
whatsoever
other than such as the shareholder may at any time personally agree to
pay by way of subscription for any shares or otherwise.  The
Declaration of Trust also requires that every note, bond, contract or
other undertaking issued by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustees
relating to the Trust shall include a recitation limiting the
obligation represented thereby to the Trust and its assets (although
the omission of such recitation shall not operate to bind any
shareholder).  The Declaration of Trust provides that:  (i) in case
any shareholder or any former shareholder of any Series of the Trust
shall be held personally liable solely by reason of his being or
having been a shareholder and not because of his acts or omissions or
for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder shall be
entitled out of the assets belonging to the applicable Series to be
held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense
arising from such liability; and (ii) a Series shall, upon request by
the shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against any
shareholder for any act or obligation of that Series and satisfy any
judgment thereon.
  We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the captions
"Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization," "Federal
Income Tax Considerations" and "Legal Matters" in the Proxy Statement
and Prospectus which constitute a part of the Registration Statement. 
We further consent to your filing a copy of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement.
 
     Yours truly,
