"Every few hundred miles", eh? Hmm...
I know some early S2000s burn oil, but I might be careful about this. I have an 07 and the level is pretty much exactly the same after over 7K miles with synthetic. Obviously dirty though.

Looks like it's simply dirty. Maybe some spilled oil from an oil change.
Either way, it would still be best to have the car taken to a mechanic who knows S2000s for a checkup before buying.
If you could take the valve cover off to check it out thoroughly, I'd check the retainers. There are threads that contain pictures of retainers and keepers that are in good condition, failing, and failed.
Definitely agree with a compression test as well.
