VFR on top in permit aircraft

I'm still doing my PPL, but had an interesting flight at the weekend which turned into a bit of a radio nav lesson with 8 8ths cloud topping out at 1,000 feet.

Permit aircraft are legal to flay in daytime VMC. But if the pilot was suitably qualified, is it legal to fly a permit aircraft in VMC on top conditions?

I'm thinking about what I should be aiming to fly once I have my PPL and this might influence my choice. I realise that I would also need IMCr or IR to do this legally.
