We have managed to achieve that fairly well. We have colocated a single 
router in a provider in London with native IPv6 where we have our 
primary break out. We then tunnel over IPv4 between this router and our 
core.

The tunneling protocol provides transparent L2 frame reassembly so we 
have MTU 1500 all the way to the edge of the network.
